About Jennifer

Jennifer Wikette is a licensed social worker in Ohio with 26 years of experience. She uses practical, person-centered methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and family concerns. Jennifer respects each person's story and looks for strengths to build on during short, focused sessions.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small, meaningful changes. Motivational Interviewing is used to support readiness for change and to strengthen commitment to goals. These approaches are explained in clear terms and used alongside everyday problem solving.

Jennifer has worked with adults and children across social service settings. That background informs a straightforward style that blends skills training with conversation about values and priorities. Sessions often include simple homework and concrete steps to practice between meetings.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting, addictions, mood conditions like depression and bipolar, grief, anger, ADHD, and relationship issues. She also helps people address communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and life purpose.

Jennifer encourages parents to take one small step at a time. She invites questions and will help people decide what to try first. To begin, use the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How ACT, CBT, and Motivational Interviewing work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on small steps toward what matters rather than trying to remove every uncomfortable feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and building personal reasons to act.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That collaboration can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

The profile does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins during work breaks or between errands. It also lets people use quieter surroundings or phone-only check-ins when video is not practical. Ask about available formats when you schedule so sessions can be arranged to suit your routine.
